RENDALL ANDWRIGHT


Lindsey Rendall has used inspiration fromthe 1940s


COUNTRY LODGE CHIC The client's brief for these five star country lodges was to create a timeless light, bright, luxurious, practical and non-gender specific interior. Nayland Hotel, Golf Club and Spa is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty,made famous by painter, John Constable. Lindsey Rendall of Rendall &Wright, was instantly inspired by the location of the Country Lodges, and had a good idea of how to exceed the client's expectations fromthe outset. Delving straight into researching the local area, Lindsey found that the site was once used as a hostel to house the Land Army women working on the local farmland during the SecondWorldWar. Lindsey was inspired by the geometric patterns and feminine Art Deco curves from


the late 1930s, which carried over into the 1940s. The combination ofmodern architecture and technology coupled with an interior design scheme inspired froma past, has been expertly created by Lindsey – incorporating Hollywood Glamour with the use of largemirrors, generously sized furniture, walnut wood finishes, geometric patterns and a blend of curves and hard lines; Design Classics fromthe 30s and 40s through dining chairs that are a reproduction of the series 7 Butterfly chair by Arne Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen. The chairs are symbolic of the Land Army women, as they're slimand feminine, but also practical, strong and robust; Form& Function was depicted in the opulent sofas and armchairs that were designed based on images of original 1940s furniture; Natural Surroundings were brought inside using neutral pattern and colour that enhanced the outdoor beauty: finally, Bespoke Art was added to give a retro feeling and bring a sense of humour fromthe era to the space.
